Loved the playthrough, awesome to find someone complete all the missions that I couldn't. I used to pick all the times multiplier crates before I started to give myself a chance
A LOT :o) I was a tester on GTA 1 PC when it was at Alpha stage (that was at BMG Interactive), went through to the end of that and then we did the Playstation version. Then I was lead test on GTA London plus I did some design work on the missions (and some of the in game voices).. Then I was Lead Test and Test manager for GTA 2.. Sadly as I had no idea how good it was going to be I left the company (but had been working on GTA for 5 years by then and was kind of sick of it) before we started GTA 3...But then my next job was at Sega which was awesome so I don't really regret it :o)
Rabs Wow that's impressive !! Well you guys certainly did a great job and I still enjoy playing the older games to this day (The nostalgia is just too much haha). I find the new games too easy compared to the old ones!
Cheers.. Its good to know people still appreciate it and indeed a lot of people worked very hard so these games could come out.. On the last day of GTA 1 I literally worked for 24hrs to meet the deadline for the testing on the final version before it went off for manufacture... Also I have to say. Ive watched a couple of your vids out of nostalgia and you are very very good. And that's coming from an expert.. BUT if you are playing the USA version I believe that it was made a bit easier than the original release since you seem to reach the points needed much much easier than I remember.. When we submitted the Playstation version, it was so difficult to finish that I had to personally go to Sony and record a playthrough to prove it was completeable . It took me about 7 hours from start to finish :o)
love all the gta1 speedrun videos mate, keep up the good work! I remember this game was so hard yet highly addictive and driving the cars without crashing was difficult but you do have nice control on that.
I still watch these videos in 2022! Though run in the background, I love all the busyness. My only wish is that you had the car radios on, but I understand it helps you focus without it. I still can't believe the effort you put in these speedruns!
Thanks for the comment...I'm really not sure why there was no radio and would have preferred to include it...all other GTA games do have radio on my channel!
@@R3dlineR6 Hmm, it looks like the radio tracks did come with the download from the Rockstar Classics website, just checked. I can't seem to be able to get the game running on Windows 10 though (crash to desktop when starting a chapter). But there are also supposed to be sound effects when you select options in the menu which I didn't hear. So there's some sort of audio issue here. Couldn't easily found a solution for that though. Would love to see a speedrun with the soundtracks though!
I've been using these videos as a Go-by to complete missions. Just finished this chapter. That damn Yakuza limo mission was a bitch, took me 3 tries. Not sure which is harder, this one or that bus bomb mission in Liberty City Chapter 1. At least the bomb bus mission you can attempt right at the beginning and quit and restart if you fail, the Yakuza limo mission you have to attempt 9 missions before you can even do this one.
lol hey what recording software do ya use mirrillis, fraps... i notice ya older videos had poor quality running the game fast, then high quality running the game slooooowwwwwwww.... you got a balance as of ya speedrun vids, only to things i'd like is ya ya had the radio on and included the last cutscenes but thats cool.
X Kai Yeah I know what you mean...I'm recording on Fraps with my videos...to be honest, I should just remove the older ones since they lag so much...not sure what caused the radio bug though...next gta games, I will include the cutscenes since they give me a break anyway
Do you know a safe method to get a fire truck? I saved a fire truck that appears in the first mission (the mission where you have to blow up seven buses). Fortunately, the fire truck didn't disappear, but I was afraid it would. In the DOS version I can't get another one, in the Windows versions the fire truck appears normally. Do you know if the DOS version has a spawn limit?
@@petrifiedtoaster8572 ah yes...I believe it has to do with gaining access to the tank kill frenzy...I'm 99% sure the door is locked if you don't pickup the icon

So helpful, thanks!
Thanks for doing this. You are pretty much the only person who has done GTA1 playthroughs.
Thanks !

@@RR18475 I have same problem on Windows 7 x64, I found widescreen fix for fix "mgl error" at startup, but no radio in game.
i wish u can change the radio instead of having different stations on each different vehicle
@@nycfanner_205 You can do it. Just press F5. Works in my version.

Yup...the most annoying thing of this game!
Why only 10/16 mission passed?
17:00 how to find the monster bug???
Make sure you're in the right chapter...there are 2 san Andreas chapter and this video is the second one!
The link for this video on speedrundotcom is for a GTA London 1961 video.
I just checked speedrun.com and the link seems to be working fine for me ?
+R3dlineR6 Sorry, my derp. I clicked on your name, not the time that links to the vid.
Superb effort running this so fast btw.
+boing123a No worries and thanks ! Should have the vice city chapters uploaded soon as well.
Thanks for doing this video! I loved this game on the ps1 when I was 14. I can see that you are playing the PC-version?
Lektuerekurs
Lektuerekurs I also had the PS1 version first but you're correct, this is the PC version
hey they said 10/16 missions. how do ya do the other 6.... or are there another 6 or som'n else ya gotta do tp unlock them?
oh wait nevermind, checked the wiki there are 8 phones with 2 missions each, just the game that misread or probably the kill frenzy interfering.
X Kai It's a glitch that happens in both san andreas chapters for some reason (all missions are completed :))
lol hey what recording software do ya use mirrillis, fraps... i notice ya older videos had poor quality running the game fast, then high quality running the game slooooowwwwwwww.... you got a balance as of ya speedrun vids, only to things i'd like is ya ya had the radio on and included the last cutscenes but thats cool.
i'm kinda like a content hog sometimes lol
X Kai Yeah I know what you mean...I'm recording on Fraps with my videos...to be honest, I should just remove the older ones since they lag so much...not sure what caused the radio bug though...next gta games, I will include the cutscenes since they give me a break anyway
is that locked car lot at 33.58 a part of a mission? i remember trying to get inside so many years ago lol
Arkaadijs Arka Yes the car park is used for a mission on the Mandarin Mayhem chapter...I also did a speedrun/walkthrough video for that one
thanks!!! nice runs!!

I only played the windows version so I won't be able to help unfortunately!
@@R3dlineR6 no prob, thanks
What does that message mean by "The doors to destruction are now open"?. I never understood that even all those years ago.
At what time? Can't remember for sure but I thought it had to do with the tank and having access to it?
@@R3dlineR6 22:15 onwards. The info point you pick up.
@@petrifiedtoaster8572 ah yes...I believe it has to do with gaining access to the tank kill frenzy...I'm 99% sure the door is locked if you don't pickup the icon
@@R3dlineR6 Thankyou! I never figured it out until now. Great content by the way!
is there a chance to download this game legally from somewhere ??? gt1 is one of my childhood games that would make me come back with great joy.

@@nycfanner_205 where can i download ??
@@gotensaiyansprawiedliwosci189 windows only
How do you open the door at 32:07?
I guess you need to use the bike to get to the info point island. The door to destruction is then open. GG!
What's with that constant chanting?
MrHusang23 It's the Krishna gang chanting (The same gang that can be found on district #3 in GTA 2)...not sure what they're chanting though !!
MrHusang23 It's the guys in orange color...
@@R3dlineR6 It seems that you ran into a bug where each ped will chant if you explode the Krishna.

Noob question, why does he keep crashing into things? Does that save time later on?
Because driving in this game is damn hard. Could drive on sidewalks but then you would kill a lot of peds which quickly attract the police
